I was recently diagnosed with Bronchiectasis.

Just looking for advice. I was recently diagnosed with bronchiectasis, had a cat scan, blood work, and mom died from it. I do not have any symptoms, not coughing at this point or ever for that matter. After reading different articles, and the different group talks, I am not sure if I should be more proactive. SHould I try to see a specialist at Mayo, do I have a bronchoscopy(sp?), without having any symptoms, should I just work on building my immunity and exercising? Thanks for any advice or suggestions, not sure what a specialist would do at this point because I don't have any active symptoms at this point.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi @mmteach, I moved your message over to your original bronchiectasis thread because you've started a great discussion on this topic and I think you'll be more likely to find the right connections within this thread, especially now that other users have reached out about it as well. I think because of the concerns you have about bronchiectasis and how you saw it effect your mother, it may be beneficial to be proactive, if not just to eliminate some of the anxiety you may have about the next steps to take.
Have you spoken to the doctor who diagnosed you about next steps?
